State Fair Shadow Walkers

Cool Shadows. From the East SkyRide going up Heritage Hill at the Iowa State Fair, August 14, 2008.
Based on your comments and observations, I recropped and resubmitted this photo twice. I'm sure glad everyone had a better eye than me!! Everytime I make a suggested change, viewas and faves go up. Thanks!

Love this.

THis is high enough resolution that you could do a cropped version with the hand-holding shadows as the main feature. (?)

Sweet!
